This is a simple sketch demonstrating the capability of the TTGO T-Beam as a TTN Mapper Node on The Things Network LoraWAN.
Derived from sbiermann/Lora-TTNMapper-ESP32 and with some information/inspiration from cyberman54/ESP32-Paxcounter and Edzelf/LoRa.
Arduino IDE ESP32 extension
LMIC-Arduino : Make sure to get the last version - 1.5.0+arduino-2 currently - because the arduino IDE library updater is getting confused by the versioning scheme of that library. If you are on a 915 Mhz - ie USA - network you must modify the lmic library "config.h" file accordingly !
Only on the oldest versions of the board you need to connect the T-Beam DIO1 pin marked Lora1 to the pin 33 - So that the ESP32 can read that output from the Lora module. Optionally you can also connect the Lora2 output to GPIO 32, but this is not needed here.
You can program the T-Beam using the Arduino ESP32 board 'T-Beam'.
On The Things Network side, the settings needed are available here.
Configure the Payload decoder for TTNv2 with:
function Decoder(bytes, port) {
var decoded = {};
decoded.latitude = ((bytes[0]<<16)>>>0) + ((bytes[1]<<8)>>>0) + bytes[2];
decoded.latitude = (decoded.latitude / 16777215.0 * 180) - 90;
decoded.longitude = ((bytes[3]<<16)>>>0) + ((bytes[4]<<8)>>>0) + bytes[5];
decoded.longitude = (decoded.longitude / 16777215.0 * 360) - 180;
var altValue = ((bytes[6]<<8)>>>0) + bytes[7];
var sign = bytes[6] & (1 << 7);
if(sign)
{
decoded.altitude = 0xFFFF0000 | altValue;
}
else
{
decoded.altitude = altValue;
}
decoded.hdop = bytes[8] / 10.0;
return decoded;
}
For TTNv3 you can use the following function:
function decodeUplink(input) {
var decoded = {};
decoded.latitude = ((input.bytes[0]<<16)>>>0) + ((input.bytes[1]<<8)>>>0) + input.bytes[2];
decoded.latitude = (decoded.latitude / 16777215.0 * 180) - 90;
decoded.longitude = ((input.bytes[3]<<16)>>>0) + ((input.bytes[4]<<8)>>>0) + input.bytes[5];
decoded.longitude = (decoded.longitude / 16777215.0 * 360) - 180;
var altValue = ((input.bytes[6]<<8)>>>0) + input.bytes[7];
var sign = input.bytes[6] & (1 << 7);
if(sign)
{
decoded.altitude = 0xFFFF0000 | altValue;
}
else
{
decoded.altitude = altValue;
}
decoded.hdop = input.bytes[8] / 10.0;
return {
data: decoded
}
}
Let me know if more detailed instructions are needed.
Let me know if you think anything else would make sense for a TTN mapper node : Open an issue, I will consider it.
